I think A Better Route Planner had a link in to your ID.3 App, and the state of charge when I owned mine a year ago.I half agree, half don't on this. I think for an ICE, all cars should have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as they don't need a lot of integration between the navigation and the car's drivetrain but on an EV it's different.
The nav needs to understand your driving style, your consumption and make intelligent decisions on if you'll make it to your destination or if you need a charging stop. It needs to workout if it should pre-heat the battery or not. By having all users using Tesla navigation they can do things like their new on-route to Supercharger stats in the car. There's a lot of other things I'm sure they probably do that we aren't even aware of.
In theory all of this would be possible with CarPlay and Android Auto but they need API's for this stuff so they can be aware of what's going on with the car to make decisions properly. They don't exist currently and of course if you let Apple and Google control this with their API's, car makers will be bound by their release schedules to add new stuff.
So yes in theory choice is good but Tesla forcing us to use their own system does I think give us a better experience overall when it comes to how the car works based on navigation data.
Android auto is shipped as an App, so you'd get updated up until a point. They don't support the new releases of android auto on old android versions *forever*, but not is it "latest version only".I doubt that very much, Android phones only get updates to the operating system if the manufacturer bothers.
I guess as long as they have the apps you use then all is good. So I use Apple Music which they added literally just before we got our first Tesla so that had me covered there. If say you use Amazon Music (Maybe coming soon) or YouTube Music then you are out of luck, have to use Bluetooth streaming from your phone. This is where having CarPlay and Android Auto is useful, how I used Apple Music in my Land Rover because it didn't have native Apple Music.It's a big leap from updating of Android Auto apps like Waze, Maps, Spotify etc to software updates that affect the operation of the car. I did miss Android Auto for a while when I first got my Tesla but to be honest I'm not sure what functionality I'd ever use on it any more, even if it were available. I'd be inclined to look more closely at software and updates related to the car itself before moving to another car.
You can run Android Auto in a Tesla by the way in a browser. Not quite as perfect but it does work, you just need an app like this one:@FastLaneJB and @Kansalis I think you both make good points and it's stuff I take for granted with the car eg supercharging and rerouting etc is very useful.
I'm happy with the system overall, I don't actually want the full phone experience in car, it was just very cool to see Android Auto and how well it integrates.
@GRiLLA As wishy mentions, it's an app rather than full OS, it gets updates easier/for longer.
I'm also surprised I can't use Google Assistant (Or whatever it's called this week) to voice control my car, Apple users are able to do this but I need to subscribe to a separate app or build it using Tasker or similar.
Reviews say it's laggy, breaks a lot, and overall isn't smooth so I'd rather take the Tesla built-in experience. I don't mind Bluetooth audio from my phone for music.You can run Android Auto in a Tesla by the way in a browser. Not quite as perfect but it does work, you just need an app like this one:
TesAA for Android Auto
Yeah I have it but don't use it. It worked fine for me, like everything on Android I think it depends on the phone you actually have, some work better than others. However I just don't see the need for it so don't bother.Reviews say it's laggy, breaks a lot, and overall isn't smooth so I'd rather take the Tesla built-in experience.

OK, we are to Android Auto not Android Automotive then I guess, my mistake.@FastLaneJB and @Kansalis I think you both make good points and it's stuff I take for granted with the car eg supercharging and rerouting etc is very useful.

Yeah I think CarPlay is really good and Apple Maps is also. Far better than the initial release they put out and it’s one of the best now in my opinion. Still I think it’s pretty much a certainty they will never put CarPlay or Android Auto into the Tesla.I would definitely like to see Apple CarPlay.
I navigate to Superchargers using post codes/addresses, we subscribe to an Amazon music family plan and I also rather like Apple Maps which we use when overseas as well as in my wife’s Fiat via CarPlay.
Having said that, if my Tesla does get Amazon Music at some point I will be happy enough.
Nor mineView attachment 1048006
Today's the day where more people will be on the new version than not.
Still nothing on mine
Fear not. You are not alone in your outdated and obsolete software woes…..Nor mine
Or outdated and obsolete software heaven. Everything stays as it is. I know the car's foibles and can predict and adapt to its behaviour. The screen information remains where I know it was.Fear not. You are not alone in your outdated and obsolete software woes…..
You are not alone. Based on Tessies 370000 ish vehicle fleet, 2024.14.6 never made it to 20%. Tessies fleet is a decent sample size and likely a pretty good representation of the whole Tesla fleet. So you are still in the majorityNor mine
They’ve also just massively put their price up so I suspect a lot of people will be cancelling it.Depends where you want to look - another view is 2024.14.6 got to just shy of 25%. Personally I’m sceptical about 370k+ cars - that’s getting on for 1 in 15 owners have paid for Tessie?

Went to look at the price now - must admit that I don’t understand this at all…They’ve also just massively put their price up so I suspect a lot of people will be cancelling it.
